Producer history Elijah Craig
The brand is named after Reverend Elijah Craig (18th century) and is today marketed and developed by Heaven Hill. The label was launched in modern times as a bourbon expression and, according to official communications, is inspired by the traditional story that credits Elijah Craig with using charred oak barrels for aging. Heaven Hill maintains and expands the range with variants such as Small Batch, Barrel Proof, Toasted Barrel and an 18-Year-Old Single Barrel.
Production philosophy
To celebrate Kentucky bourbon tradition by combining barrel selection, aging in charred oak, and offering both accessible releases and niche bottlings (barrel proof, single barrel, special finishes), while focusing on consistency of the brand's aromatic profile.
Territory
Kentucky, United States (production and aging primarily within Heaven Hill facilities in Kentucky)
